Crochet Around A Ponytail Holder Or Rubber Band

Hi guys today, I was going to share with you how I crochet around my ponytail. I have seen a couple different examples. They feel like mine is a little bit easier. This one is just two rows of the double crochet and a textured yarn, and I actually have an order right now for a cyclone one. So I'm going to demonstrate that one. This one is also double crochet with three types of yarn, and this is a great way to start a messy bun hat or you can make a little poncho for a Barbie. Now that stays on our shoulders, really nice and looks clean okay, so you're going to want to make a slipknot. I leave a long tail because I weave the tail in as I go and you're just gon na want to grab it and chain three see how my tails in there so now we're good to go, and I can leave my tail in there. If I want and just do a double crochet all the way around, normally it's about 30, so you just want it nice and tight. You know it doesn't have to be. I think I've done one that was 45. It all depends upon the yarn and the hook that you're using now I am using a ke hook or six and a half or six point five millimeter right now, then the cyclone colors are red and yellow or cold and I'm cold. So I'm starting with just the red, but I am gon na - add some eyelash and I have red and gold I'm going to mix them together with this, and I'm just gon na drop the tail now and trim that later on. So it's out of the way you know this is my favorite way to start the messy bun hat, because it just keeps it a nice shape and gives you a great foundation. Sometimes the magic circle doesn't look quite as neat, but these are also great for dance teams or maybe, if you're, a big sports fan, matching the colors of the team doing two colors of our dockland floor. You can also use a boy yarn, or I mean you really and loose limits. I did one one time with the really small hook and white and made little lace skirts for candlestick holders, but I started with just crocheting around rubber band, because I just wanted a nice foundation and it holds nicely too it doesn't it's not as floppy. We kind of pull it to the side, so it's in there nice and tight. I do one more and then I'll just attach it to that. First: pull it through. Now what I'm going to do when I add my eyelash yarn, I'm gon na change hook. So I'm going to go to a bigger hook like this I'll hook and that's eight milliliters. So I've got the two yarns here. It'S just the regular eyelash yarn that you didn't get in all sorts of colors. I'M gon na do a slipknot with that and I'm gon na place it right on the hook, I'm still connected to the other one. So now what I'm working with is two eyelash yarns and then just the regular yarn and their tails are called raise it. So here we go I'm gon na chain, one two three in that same well, I'll, do a double crochet. You see that double crochet and then now you're, just gon na kind of have to feel it because the eyelash yarn gets goofy. Sometimes I'm gon na do one double crochet in the next one and then I'm gon na do two double crochet so one to in that same hole and then we'll go one and then to and you're just gon na alternate that all the way around and that's The look that you're gon na get really fun really fast great for matching colors of different things. So I just wanted to show you a quick tutorial and hope that helps on how to crochet around a rubberband thanks guys, a happy crochet
